May 25 2015

Hey everybody. Hope you're having a great Memorial Day! This week was
pretty great. Sullana really welcomed my new companion Elder Garay in a
way we never expected. Sorry for telling you guys but we saw in one
week, a lady going number 1 in the grass outside the stake center, who
then asked us for money, a man going number 2 in the grass in our area
going to a lesson, and a naked boy coming out of the bathroom telling
his dad (a new convert) to help him clean himself. Who knows what awaits
in the next few weeks. We have to investigatores that are progressing
right now, Maickel and Teresa. They both have baptismal date but it is
really hard to help Teresa to go to church. She is married and her
husband is a member who got baptized almost a year ago in Chiclayo. He
works every sunday
so it's hard to get them to go to church. Maickel is the 15 year old
nephew of Rosita who we baptized a month back and he is excited to be
baptized so we are teachig him two or three times a week. We read with
him 1 Nephi 1 to get him going on his reading of the Book of Mormon. It
was a pretty cool lesson.

I'm doing great here, my companion and I
are great friends and he sometimes teaches me portuguese and his native
language of Paraguay. He speaks spanish as well.

Yeah Paraguayans speak much differently, sometimes it's hard to
understand him ha. He also speaks another native langague from Paraguay
and Portuguese so sometimes he randomly speaks those languagues to throw
me off and joke around in the room ha. He is super cool. He looks
Northamerican because he is white and some Americans came to our chapel
for a auto sufficiency devotional and one of them spoke to Elder Garay
in english but I told the guy he is from paraguay and doesn't speak
english ha. My mind might wander back home a lot but we are working
really hard and trying to help two progressing investigatores get
baptized. I just sent you the flight plan. It'll be a much better trip I
think, even though it's still planned to be about 24 hours. I'll be
going to LA this time!

Today for Memorial day we went to a
restaurant with about 10 or more other missionaries and I ate lasagna, a
milkshake and pop. It gave me a quick preview to home. The restaurant
is called Rustica.

Hope you guys have a great week! I'll send pictures next week. Love you guys!
